Does anyone know how much a nurse practitioner makes on average? I've looked at my health authorities website and they treat NPs as management and put "competitive rates" for pay. Do they negotiate their own salaries then? What's average? Everyone I ask is very hush about it and apparently it's taboo to ask how much someone makes. I work currently as an ER nurse and I feel like trying something different with more responsibility . Rumor is 85K/year but I feel like that's extremely low given the fact that I make close to that now without overtime.
I also have to be able to justify doing a Masters since that's going to cost at least 25k. Any thoughts?
